Crisp Criticism - "Foxcatcher", "Wild", "Big Eyes"

The
Olympic Wrestling Champion brother team of David and Mark Schultz joins Team
Foxcatcher lead by multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont as they train for
the 1988 games in Seoul.

Suffocating, at times intriguing
though removed film based on fact that contains many mini-movies inside of it
fighting for attention, all of them at surface level. Because of the apogee,
the director percolates a sense of dread that paralyzes the story, humour,
politics and performances.
